Beskrivelse af Look at the Lake
This is a book about deep history and living in the moment; beauty and poverty; cosmic discovery and tragic loss. Kevin Brophy writes about people and place like no-one else. I will be urging others to read this extraordinary book for years to come. - David McCooey
This is a sure-eyed condensery of a community and a place: its knowledge, its resilience and griefs, its skies and weather, children, birds, dogs and boggy roads, and always the presence of the Lake. It is a vital record, sometimes close to hymn, that gifts to the reader openhearted and open-ended encounters with the specific. - Lucy Dougan
In these poems Kevin Brophy offers us the gift of days in which the ordinary is always surprising - where children arrive in the morning at the school gate "walking as if they have walked all night to get here", and the same word is used for the swelling of a corpse and the rising of a loaf. It is a country where different worlds infiltrate and unsettle each other, where encounters take place at the brink of understanding, and humanity shines through each poem with the lustre of stones polished by rain. - Kim Mahood
Kevin Brophy has lived in Melbourne for most of his life, but during the writing of his latest book, he was resident for two years in the remote desert community of Mulan, home of the Walmajarri people in Western Australia. He is the author of sixteen books of poetry, fiction and essays. He is a professor in Creative Writing at the University of Melbourne, and also works as an editor and publisher.
